I'd go matt black on your wide arch's type r and I'd be very interested in your current alloys Adam,what's the offset on them mate?

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

to be honest mate im still trying to work out the offset of these myself im not sure if it will be marked on the wheel or not, iv searched the offsets and you can get 42 or 35 im probably swaying to wards 35 but i could be way wrong

prodriverules

iTrader: (52)

Weird they usually have a marking on the inside of the rim on the spokes
PM me a price you are thinking for them please mate.

oh and what size tyres are they currently?

i do like the gold i must admit h, but im not sure if its a moody enough colour that said it really makes the wheels pop being gold see my dilemma lol

Rota G-Force or Grid Drift will looks good,but Advan RS-D will looks just amazing

i havnt taken the rim off yet ill do that this week and get back to you. 215,35, 18 ill pm u a price mate

i like all of the above iv had a set of grid drifts on a new age , prior to this car advan rsd are like a million quid lol stunning wheel though, rota g forces would be a good choice i think ,also to have the really aggressive look with grids you have to go 9.5 wide with et38 and im sure that would be too big even for these arches

I think the wheels you have are different and unique.....

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

don't get me wrong i really like the wheels iv got on there now. just fancy putting my own mark on the car and i think i can afford to go a little more aggressive with the fitment

type-rob

Got to be matt/satin bronze for my taste adam

Thanks Adam,PM me the ET,price fella and we can talk more

Grid Drift are really great i love them and Advan RS-D shame they're just available in 5X114.3" and if would be available in 5X100 these i would buy straight away,price wise,in USA are cheaper than here in UK

For your arches i would suggest G-Force with 8.5-9JX18 with 225-235/40,these will look amazing and for best i would suggest visit Mags and try with him some wheels setups and from this i would go


Good luck matey with your decision

thanks jura i defiantly won't be going no bigger that 9 still trying to figure out what ofset to go for too . youve made me really think about choice of wheel no was quite set on axes 527 but now im not so sure. and the colours still don't know either this grey is hard colour to pic wheels for

Hi there,offset dictate what brakes you have,if you have Brembo(they're chunky) you will need higher offset ET than for AP,K-Sport

Best i said is visit Mags and try there some wheels,G-force are very similar to the Advan

Here is few pictures of G-Force on the Classic

im running k sport 8 pots on the front. im liking the set up on the blue one but got a feeling tests like 18x 9.5s at least i think your rite but i have a feeling mags is a good trek from me

jura11

iTrader: (7)

You are running like we are 8pots K-Sport and they will clear almost every wheels which you would like to have

I suspect this Blue one running 9JX18 with some sort of spacers and this blue one is full carbon 22b bodykit,lovely car

As i said best bet is Mags,great guy and very helpful and if i've questions about the tyres and wheels i still give him shout

if you are looking for a nice colour, i have rota force on my newage in gunmetal, colour sets it off lovely

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

thanks for your help jura. iv spoke to mags once before about rotas for my last car as i was going the extended arches route but this type r came up for sale, so the other plan soon stopped do you think i can get away with 9.5 et 38 without catching the arches ??

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

nice motor barnshaw does set it off your right your cars blue with gun metal which works makes the car and wheels pop out at u, mines dark grey i dont think gun meta on my car would have the same effect

iTrader: (7)

9.5JX18" ET38 with stretched tyres on yours not sure will work without the problem,i think you will need at least some sort spacers(CDF hubcentric spacers or Japspeed) plus some work on bodywork.

On our wagon we are been OK with stretched tyres and coilovers,but when we are looked for 245/40 ZR18 we need get the arches rolled.

Really if you are near Mags i would go there and try there some rims/alloys like we are done last time


Do you running coilovers?

I would say be different and go matte bronze, check out the colour on Simon's (jgm) project thread, think it would look ace

just gun metal grey the ones you got dude and like paul said get it mapped and on the rollers

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

yeah really liking the bronze think it will look ace too mite be the choice of colour now just got to choose the wheels

adam knight

iTrader: (3)

dont worry boys simtek is gonna happen soon, but i need to get intercooler and a few other bits and pieces first.

stevie1982

iTrader: (16)

that would be worth a shout, get yours done first to see if you like the colour option. if not you can always order the replacement set in a different colour. think of the cash that could be spent else where

iv got my heart set on new wheels as much as i like the looks of the car. i really think it could look so much more aggressive. im taking the wheels off tonight and checking et to work out what will work on new wheels. still havnt decided what wheels or colour. now iv thought about it im swaying towards rota grid drifts in matte bronze but its still no where near definite yet still doing lot of research and trying to find pictures of wide body classics with aggressive wheels set ups is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack
